Multiresolution spectrotemporal analysis of complex sounds

A computational model of auditory analysis is described that is inspired by psychoacoustical and neurophysiological findings in early and central stages of the auditory system. The model provides a unified multiresolution representation of the spectral and temporal features likely critical in the perception of sound. Simplified, more specifically tailored versions of this model have already been validated by successful application in the assessment of speech intelligibility [Elhilali et al., Speech Commun. 41(2-3), 331-348 (2003); Chi et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, 2719-2732 (1999)] and in explaining the perception of monaural phase sensitivity [R. Carlyon and S. Shamma, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 114, 333-348 (2003)]. Here we provide a more complete mathematical formulation of the model, illustrating how complex signals are transformed through various stages of the model, and relating it to comparable existing models of auditory processing. Furthermore, we outline several reconstruction algorithms to resynthesize the sound from the model output so as to evaluate the fidelity of the representation and contribution of different features and cues to the sound percept.     

The synergy between speech production and perception

Speech intelligibility is known to be relatively unaffected by certain deformations of the acoustic spectrum. These include translations, stretching or contracting dilations, and shearing of the spectrum (represented along the logarithmic frequency axis). It is argued here that such robustness reflects a synergy between vocal production and auditory perception. Thus, on the one hand, it is shown that these spectral distortions are produced by common and unavoidable variations among different speakers pertaining to the length, cross-sectional profile, and losses of their vocal tracts. On the other hand, it is argued that these spectral changes leave the auditory cortical representation of the spectrum largely unchanged except for translations along one of its representational axes. These assertions are supported by analyses of production and perception models. On the production side, a simplified sinusoidal model of the vocal tract is developed which analytically relates a few "articulatory" parameters, such as the extent and location of the vocal tract constriction, to the spectral peaks of the acoustic spectra synthesized from it. The model is evaluated by comparing the identification of synthesized sustained vowels to labeled natural vowels extracted from the TIMIT corpus. On the perception side a "multiscale" model of sound processing is utilized to elucidate the effects of the deformations on the representation of the acoustic spectrum in the primary auditory cortex. Finally, the implications of these results for the perception of generally identifiable classes of sound sources beyond the specific case of speech and the vocal tract are discussed.     

An account of monaural phase sensitivity

Listeners can detect phase differences between the envelopes of sounds occupying remote frequency regions, and between the fine structures of partials that interact within a single auditory filter. They are insensitive to phase differences between partials that differ sufficiently in frequency to preclude within-channel interactions. A new model is proposed that can account for all three of these findings, and which, unlike currently popular approaches, does not discard across-channel timing information. Sensitivity is predicted quantitatively by analyzing the output of a cochlear model using a spectro-temporal decomposition inspired by responses of neurons in the auditory cortex, and by computing a distance metric between the responses to two stimuli to be discriminated. Discriminations successfully modeled include phase differences between pairs of bandpass filtered harmonic complexes, and between pairs of sinusoidally amplitude modulated tones, discrimination between amplitude and frequency modulation, and discrimination of transient signals differing only in their phase spectra ("Huffman sequences").     

Asymptotic eigenfunctions of mixed problems of Stekloff's type
